Meet me at Barnes & Noble Asheville
Thursday evening, May 5th from 5-7pm at Barnes & Noble located at 3 South Tunnel Road. I'll be signing my newly released novel, "Hera's Revenge: An Yvonne Suarez Travel Mystery".
Christy Tillery French, reviewer for Midwest Book Reviews, and author of the Body Guard series, says, “The premise for this mystery is a refreshing addition to the mystery genre. The author excels at interweaving interesting historical and mythological data into the plot. This, along with her visual descriptive, leaves the reader feeling as if s/he is actually touring the Greek Isles along with the group. …Yvonne Suarez is an intriguing character… The mystery is one readers will be challenged to solve, filled with twists and turns and plenty of red herrings.”
In Hera’s Revenge, when an airport employee turns up dead in baggage claim upon their arrival in Athens, the Pinkerton Travel group gets off to a rocky start. Yvonne’s corporate client, David Ludlow, needs a vacation from his stressful job, and this itinerary in the land of mythology, Greek philosophers and early democrats is just the ticket to a leisurely escape, until grumpy passengers, missing museum art, and deathly accidents plague their journey. A reluctant sleuth, Yvonne, pulls out all the stops to keep her clients safe and her tour on track.
Hope to see Asheville mystery lovers there!

Hera's Revenge: An Yvonne Suarez Travel Mystery
Canterbury House Publishing. 2011. c.213p. ISBN 9780982905425. pap. $14.95.
"Yvonne, super conscientious travel agent, plans the perfect Greek tour for her group, only to have corpses pop up almost immediately. And then a priceless little gold sculpture of Hera is stolen from the museum when her group is there. As the wide-eyed bunch explores Athens and beyond, Yvonne befriends handsome David, who assists her in this homage—both in tone and locale—to Mary Stewart’s The Moon-Spinners. ...An abundance of red herrings...the author’s love of Greece and her insights into a tour group’s dynamics make this light romantic suspense debut a welcome distraction for an armchair traveler. A series to watch."
